TEA TABLE ETIQUETTE S
Quaint Custom* Once Observed
English Dames.
Te;i drinking has become very fash
ionable among us of late years, almost
as much so as it was in England a cen
tury ago, but the prevailing customs
at the table are different. The “teacup
times of hood and hoop’’ had their own
etiquette, of a sort not likely to be re
vived. What should we think now of a
fashionable lady who cooled her tea
with her breath f Yet Young says of a
certain bewildering Lady Betty:
Her two red lipa affected zephyrs blow
To cool the Bohen and inflame the beau.
While one white finger and a thumb conspire
To lift the cup and make the world admire.
Again a passage in contemporary lit
erature shows that it was a lack of
good manners to take much cream or
sugar in one’s tea. Says a lady of qual
ity to her daughter; “I must further
advise you, Harriet, not to heap such
mountains of sugar into your tea, nor
to pour such a deluge of cream in. Peo
ple will certainly take yon for the
daughter of a dairymaid. ’’
Ceitain other customs may be re
membered in this country among us
who had grandmothers trained in the
ceremonies of a later day. One of them
consisted in putting the spoon in the
cup to show that no more tea was de
sired ; another was that of turning over
the cup in the saucer for the same pur
pose.
Etiquette also demanded that the tea
should be tasted from the spoon, and
that the hostess should then inquire,
“Is your tea agreeable?’’ Certain scru
pulous old ladies ask that now, afld
the question savors of a more sedate
and gentle day than this.—St. Louis
Republic.
AN EXPENSIVE EXPERIMENT.
The Head Bookkeeper Finally Bal
ances Ilin Accounts.
A south side man who is a clerk in
one of the leading banks on this side of
the river was in a communicative mood
last night. During a conversation about
various things he took on a retrospective
air and said, “There is nothing like the
faithful discharge of one’s duties, but
it is sometimes an expensive experi
ment. ’ ’
On being questioned as to the cause
of the remark he replied: “Well, it re
minds me of an experience I had while
employed in a prominent Fourth ave
nue bank. 1 don’t mind telling it to
you. The head bookkeeper was a char
acter in many ways. Method was bis
hobby. He had away of doing every
thing, and lie never varied from the
rules ho set down. Exactness in his ac
counts was a particular fad, and he
spared no pains in carrying his ideas
into effect. One afternoon in balancing
our books it was found he was short 1
cent. We seaiched and searched, but
when it came to the usual time for go
ing home that cent was still missing.
“Do you think the head bookkeeper
would allow us to go? Not much. Sev
eral of us had engagements we wanted
to fulfill, but it made no difference.
Supper time came, and we were no fur
ther ahead than when we started.
Headed by the bookkeeper, we repaired
to a neighboring restaurant for supper
and then returned to work. After sev
eral hours the missing cent was found
and the accounts balanced. But in fig
uring up it was discovered that in
searching for the discrepancy of 1 cent
the bank had incurred a bill for suppers
to the amount of $7.50.” —Detroit Free
Press.
AU American Children.
“Do you not have trouble with so
many nationalities?” the spectator
asked of the principal of a large school
in the crowded tenement part of the
city. “Oh, we hang the flag over the
school platform,” was the answer,
“and have the regular exercise of salut
ing it, and the children become very
patriotic indeed. They will not own, in
most cases, that they are not Ameri
cans.” “Yes,” said the other teacher,
“1 often ask, ‘Will the German chil
dren in the room stand up?’ The Ger
mans are more wedded to their father
land, apparently, than other immi
grants, for a few—though not by any
means half—of them usually rise to this
invitation. ‘Now let the Italian chil
dren stand, ’ generally brings no re
sponse at all, though the school is
crowded with them in my district. But
when I end up by saying, ‘Will the
American children stand up?’ the
whole school rises joyfully.”—Outlook.
As to Providence.
A country parson went to see a hum
ble parishioner and, if possible, to com
fort him some little under heavy trou
ble which had befallen. The pastor
found the homely old man in his deso
late cottage alone. He said many
things, and added that he must try to
take all affliction humbly, as appointed
to us by Providence.
“Yes,” said the good old man, who
was imperfectly instructed in theology,
“that’s right enough, that is. But
somehow that there old Providence have
bin ag’in me all along, but I reckon as
there’s one above as’ll put a stopper on
he if he go too fur. ” —Baltimore News.
Wanted Them AU.
Julia Ward Howe was once talking
with a dilapidated bachelor, who retain
ed little but his conceit. “It is time
now,” he said, pompously, “for me to
settle down as a married man, but I
want so much. I want youth, health,
wealth, of course, beauty, grace”—
“Yes,” said Mrs. Howe, sympathet
ically, “you poor man, you do want
them all. ”

A MONOMANIACAL WITNESS.
Uure til. Pkiae of Lunacy W«i De
veluped During n Trial.
“That calls to mind a queer experi
ence of my own, ” said a lawyer who
had listened to a story. “Some years
ago I defended a fellow for murder in ■
little southern town, and the worst wit
ness we had against us was an old Ger
man who was a stackbuilder by trade.
A stack, by the way, is merely another
name for a big chimney.
“The old fellow was perfectly honest
and gave his evidence in such a clear,
straightforward manner that I felt my
client was doomed unless I could think
of soma way to break him down. While
I was cudgeling my brains a friend
whispered to me to ask him how high
he could build a stack. ‘What do you
mean':’ I asked, in . surprise. ‘Never
mind,’said my friend. ‘Just slip in
that question and see. ’
“So at the tail end of the cross exam
ination I paused, as if struck by an aft
erthought, and said, ‘You are a stack
builder, I believe?’ ‘Yes, sir,’ replied
the witness. ‘Well, sir,’ I continued,
‘about how high can you build’— I
never got any further. A swift, inscru
table change flashed over the German’s
face, and ho rose excitedly from his
chair. ‘As high as der sky!’ he roared.
‘So high dose angels come around it
like birds!’
“In five seconds ho was raving. You
see, the man was a monomaniac—sane
on every subject but one, and my friend
happened to know his weak spot. It is
hardly necessary to say that his evi
dence in regard to the homicide was
promptly ruled out by the judge, and
as there was no other witness of impor
tance my man was cleared. The rascal
should have been hanged and would
have been but for the lucky reference
to the stack.”—New Orleans Times-
Democrat.
TWO OF THEM.
Private O’Mars* Tart Retort to Ilia
Vnttccommodnting Colonel.
Here is a story Ibld of Patrick O’Mars,
a private in the Ninth regulars: Not
long ago ho went to the colonel, who
was a severe disciplinarian, for a two
weeks’ leave of absence.
“Well,” said the colonel, "what do
you want a two weeks’ furlough for?”
Patrick answered, “Me woife is very
sick, and the children are not well, and
if ye didn’t mind she would like to
have me home for a few weeks to give
her a bit of assistance.”
Tbe colonel eyed him for a few min
utes and said: “Patrick, I might grant
your request, but I got a letter from
your wife this morning saying that she
didn’t want you home; that you were
a nuisance and raised the devil when
ever you were there. She hopes I won’t
let you have any more furloughs.”
“That settles it. I suppose I can’t
get the furlough then?” said Pat.
“No, I’m afraid not, Patrick. It
wouldn’t be well for me to do so under
the circumstanoeg. ”
It was Patrick’s turn now to eye the
colonel as he started for the door. Stop
ping suddenly, he said:
“Colonel, nan I say something to
yez?”
“Certainly, Patrick. What is it?”
“You won’t get mad, colonel, if I
say it?”
“Certainly not, Patrick. What is it?”
“I want to say there are two splendid
liars in this room, and I’m one of them.
I was never married in me loife.”—
New York Tribune.
She Studied French.
Four young women were walking to
gether on Charles street today and en
gaged in animated conversation.
“What do youthink I done today,
Clara?” said one. “I translated 40
pages of French exercise. Wasn’t that
fine?”
“Fine,” said the other, “I should
say it was. I wish I had done as good.
I only translated 20.”
Comment is unnecessary, but one
feels like asking, Is this a sign of the
times? Is what Mme. Butterfly called
“United States American English” be
ing neglected for tbe so called accom
plishments?
One can forgive the woman who,
gazing at some renaissance lace, bland
ly remarks, “Ah, that is the ‘Renny
sant,’ ” but for the girl who assiduous
ly studies French and murders English
meanwhile, as Macbeth murdered sleep,
there seems no possible excuse. —Balti-

What la a Signaturet
When Constable was requested to put
his signature to one of his pictures, he
answered, “Why, my dear sir, it is
signed all over. ” Let the preacher pre
serve his personality, and his sermon
also will be “signed all over.” A num
ber of Thackeray’s pen and ink sketches
were sold not long since in London,
and, although they bore no monogram
or signature, no one disputed their gen
uineness. A true preacher also cannot
be hid.
That which John had seen and with
his own hands handled of tbe word of
life could never be to any other perso
just what it was to him. A preach
who puts himself into his sermon is
readily detected in his sermon as any
where else. Even his apprehension of
truth, his way of looking at it, his fash
ion of delivering it, is all his own. Let
us repeat it. Hissermon will be “signed
all over.”—Homiletic Review.

THE SIEGE OF PARIS.
HOW LONDON FIRST LEARNED THAt
IT HAD ENDED.
Story of the Reporter W ho Got the
“S<-ooi * nml Who Then Induced
ItlMiun-k to Allow trim to Send Ont
the Veio Over ills Private Wire.
During the Franco (lerman war, from
Oct. 18, 1870, to March 1, 1871, I was
attached to the headquarters of the
crown prince, who occupied an unas
suming little villa called LesOmbragos,
in an out.skirt of V, milieu, his august
father residing L . vr.ghont the invest
ment and siige of I'aris in the prefecture
of the whilom “royal burgh,” at: 1
Count Bismarck, with his staff of coun
cilors and se .etaries, in a detached
house of the Rue de Provence. I often
met the chancelhn‘out of doors, walk
ing or riding, during that long and bit
ter winter, but sedulously refrained
from soliciting umlicnces, being well
aware that th. vi.iti of a war corre
spondent, !.■> had evtivthing to ask
and nothing to tell, could not possibly
be welcome to so desperately overwork
ed a statesman as Bismarck.
By what means I need not explain in
this place, I bad been made acquainted
with tbe precise terms of the capitula
tion of Paris at an early hour of the
morning after the conclusion of the
armistice, and had, moreover, good rea
son to believe that the conditions of the
surrender had not boon communicated
to any other correspondent of an Eng
lish or even a German newspaper at
headquarters. Having obtained the su
premely important item of news, what
was Ito do with it? Unless it could be
forthwith transmitted to The Daily Tel
egraph office by telegraph, my chances
of forestalling my fellow correspondents
would be annihilated, and there was no
wire at my disposal—or, for that mat
ter, at that of any foreign journalist—
within the vast radius of the lines of
investment.
Tbe situation appeared an utterly
hopeless one, until suddenly the hap
piest of “happy thoughts” flashed
through my mind. Perhaps the all pow
erful chancellor, newly created a prince
of the young German empire, would
authorize the transmission to London
of my dispatch over his own official
wire, by means of which ho was “on
rapport” with every European capital
except beleaguered Paris. There was no
time to lose. Before 8 a. m. I had taken
down the articles of capitulation from
the lips of my informant, within half
an hour I had copied them out, “large,
bold and handsome, ” on two pages of
foolscap and had made myself presenta
ble.
At 9 o’clock I presented myself at the
street door of the house in the Rue de
Provence and sent up my card to Coun
cilor Lothar Bucher, with a penciled
request that he would allow me to speak
to him in private. Almost immediately
he camo down to the waiting room on
the ground floor, into which I had been
shown, and asked me what he could do
forme. “Can you procure me a five
minutes’ audience of the prince?” I re
plied. “I don’t know.” was the rejoin
der, “but I’ll try. The chancellor is ex
tremely busy, but perhaps he’ll see you
if yon can assure me that the matter is
really urgent.” I declared that for me
it could not possibly be more so, where
upon Bucher left me—l confess, in a
fever of anxiety—and was absent for
about a quarter of an hour, at the ex
piration of which he reappeared and
beckoned to me to follow him up stairs.
In an ex-boudoir on the first floor
converted into a sort of office I found
tho chancellor awaiting me. After the
briefest of greetings he said, “Pray, tell
me what you want iu thd-fewest possi
ble words, for I have not a moment to
lose.” I produced ray dispatch, handed
it to him and asked him if it was sub
stantially correct.
After looking through it he answered:
“Yes, it is. I don’t know how you got
your information, and I don’t intend to
ask, but these are the terms on which
Paris surrenders. What then?” When
I besought his permission to forward
the message over his wire, he laughed
lather grimly, saying, “You must be
mad to ask such a thing!”
I urged upon him that the tension of
public feeling in England with respect
to the fate of Paris was very painful—
many people's sympathy being tempo
rarily averted from Germany by harrow
ing accounts of the sufferings undergone
by the population of the French capi
tal. “That tension would be considera
bly relieved, sir,” I replied, “by the
knowledge that tho siege of Paris is
come to an end and that tbe victors
have accorded merciful terms to the
vanquished.” Prince Bismarck held out
against my importunity for about a
couple of minutes, but he yielded at
last, only stipulating that I should
efface niy name at the end of the dis
patch.
no account can I allow you to
sign a message sent over my wire. If
your people in London do not believe it
to be authentic when it reaches them,
that is their affair. But it must go un
signed or not at all. ” It did go unsign
ed; it was accepted as authentic, and
its publication that very afternoon in a
special edition of The Daily Telegraph
proved to be one of the greatest journal
istic coups effected by any London
newspaper during the Franco-German
war. —London Telegraph.
